in honor of pitch perfect 2, here's a pretty fun review of the first onefor a little blast from the past ("the past" here being just, like, two years ago or whatever).

"Kim's face is like a Duchamp urinal: in declaring itself as a kind of public art, it mocks & dares & provokes." surprisingly positive reviews of kim kardashian's new book from the atlantic& slate. also, "the boldest ting about selfish is not just that she's inviting you to look at her several hundred times over--it's that she's forcing you to look at her the exact way she wants to, from the exact angle, in the exact lighting of her choosing. you could call selfish a sneakily feminist document, an act of reclamation by one of the world's most photogarphed women. but that would be ridiculous. forget the male gaze, or even the female gaze--the only gaze that matters here is kim kardashian's, directed squarely at herself, kim kardashian looking at kim kardashian back & forth until the end of time."speaking of the kardashians (isn't that what everyone is always doing anyway? :), this tumblr.
